Jamie T – Up For The Mercury Prize

18th Jul 2007

The Glasswerk tip for this year's Mercury Music Prize, Jamie T's Panic Prevention has been called one of the great British debut albums.

Aged just 21, with 160,000 sales, Jamie’s debut album is a mad scramble of sonic diary entries about his recent experiences, and those of his mates. Called ‘Panic Prevention’ – after the series of mixtapes and club nights he has put on – it’s a record which depicts a blurry, boozy, chaotic world that’s instantly recognisable as the same one reported about in concerned TV news features from Britain’s teen-alcoholic-strewn small towns. And quite unapologetically, the young Mr T is much closer to the reportees than the reporters.
